Macon Reporter ‘Dragged Kicking and Screaming’ From Press Area Near Air Force One

by Jeff Emanuel on May 28, 2009

Brenda Lee, a writer for the Macon-based GA Informer and self-identified “Roman Catholic priestess,” was drug away from a press area near Air Force One while the president was in Los Angeles this morning, according to NBC.

Lee, who said she has White House press credentials, said she wanted to hand-deliver a letter to Obama asking him to “take a stand for traditional marriage.” After refusing to hand the letter to an Obama staffer, Lee was asked to leave, then told by security she could stay “as long as she did not yell or wave.”

Security apparently changed their minds, asking her to leave once again; when  she refused, security lifted her by the arms and legs and carried her away.

According to NBC, “Lee, who said this was the second presidential event she has covered, was later released.”

Note: If the Georgia Informer can get White House press credentials, then Peach Pundit should be getting invited to freaking state dinners. Where’s the justice in this world?

Update: Here’s a column by the “Catholic Priestess” in question “urging Christians to boycott Vatican events” because of the Catholic Church’s “tradition of murder.” Very interesting…

Peach Pundit is another Republican Chrysler dealer to be dealt with.

Rats! You beat me to it! I was going to send the link to Erick and challenge him to defend his journalistic peer…

I’ve been on the White House press list since before President Obama took the oath of office and frequently receive emails from the White House Travel Office detailing how members of the press can travel with the President during his trips across the nation.

While I’m not entirely sure whether I could obtain White House press credentials, the fact that a second-rate media outlet like the Georgia Informer can obtain press passes says to me that it probably isn’t all too difficult for one to get them.

Andre

If the GA Informer is second rate, what is your blog? 97th rate?

At first, I thought this was The Wild Woman of Macon™ that jousts with Eric at council matches, er meetings.

Wow. I hope she doesn’t move to Roswell. Macon can keep her.

With such a high-profile and conspicuous name like “Romegaguy,” where would you rate among the estimated 16,960 males living in Georgia’s nineteenth largest city?

So the Informer is Macon-based and that lady can’t get near Obama while Rep. Jim Marshall is from Macon and can’t get far enough from Obama.

Why is she identified as a “Macon Reporter” rather than a Bull-Goose Loon??

What ticked the Secret Service guys off was when she started ranting “You kiss your mothers ass and go straight to hell, loser”. I think that’s what raised suspicion and got her in trouble. Just another fine product of Macon, Georgia.

Lord Obama shall not be trivialized with such people & letters to stand up for traditional marriage. It’s by his graciousness that she was not tazed. Now, all comment on this thread must be ceased immediately or Georgia will lose more car dealerships.

I heard Erick has 100 resolutions prepared to honor her at next month’s city council meeting
